The thought of selling my house scared me to death. It was my first big accomplishment after my divorce and I didn't want to sell, not only because of the security and sentimental ties, but because I did not know the first thing about it. Where do you start? Who do you trust? What do you do to prepare for the sale? Plus, I had held on to it for two years after I had remarried and moved 1200 miles away to Arkansas, I knew no one to call or trust but more than that I knew how hard I was to please.

Coincidentally or because of my faith in God that he would open the right doors and close the wrong ones I received a flier, as an owner of a condo at the Pointe Tapatio, from Maureen Karpinski at Cactus Country Property Professionals. She had sold homes in my area and was just letting me and others in the area know she was available if we ever wanted to sell ours. I liked her method of advertising, I loved her confidence and ambition and thought if I am going to do this I need to do it now so I contacted her by e-mail.

Instantly I felt as if I had always known her and that I was her only homeowner. She communicated daily, assured me I had nothing to worry about and that she would take care of all that needed done with my best interest at heart. Every question was answered in a more than acceptable time frame, every request was met in a very timely manner. Maureen managed to have repairs done as well as the cleaning and finishing touches needed to put my home on the market.I had a time goal in my mind that included months and in less than a week the house was ready for an open house. Oddly enough I felt no anxious nerves or worries because by that time there was not a doubt she cared and was in full control.

Open house was on the 20th of the month, the house sold in three days on the 23rd and closed in 10 on the 30th. When I arrived home from work on the 31st Fed Ex was just pulling up to the house and handed me a check for the sale of the house I was so worried would be a hassle trying to sell from so far away. No problems, no hitches, no worries or frustrations plus got the price we wanted and a check in the hand just 11 days after the process began!

What was the greatest was I never had to leave my home or change my schedule to be in Phoenix for any of the things needed including the closing. Everything was done if not by e-mail and fax then by mail. It was great!! Would I ever sell another home? Yes, if Cactus Country Properties and Maureen would sell it for me. Would I ever buy another home? You bet, but not without Maureen. Something I was sure would be a real frustrating and draining task ended up being one of the easiest and most pleasant ordeals I had ever faced thanks to Cactus Country Properties in Phoenix, Arizona.Mrs. Peter
